Georg Wadenius Clinics
For an experienced musician, it can be meaningful to share with others who might benefit from mistakes made or success harvested. Georg Wadenius has an array of experiences in the music world and knows a thing or two about the ups & downs in this versatile business. His honesty makes for interesting clinics; the breeze of sobriety about music as a craft and job, might tone down the glamour of ambition some, but it will also highlight what's really essential to BE a professional musician.

GW: "When I do clinics, I usually divide them into a couple of sections, somewhat depending on the level of the participants."

--1. I talk a lot about the importance of taking every working situation seriously - if you accept an assignment, then you owe it to everyone involved to do your absolutely best and to be well prepared and stay away from mind-altering substances. I usually give examples from my own experiences, like when I blew some great opportunities because I didn't treat the situation right. I also talk about the randomness of how someone gets a job and how you never know what can come out of any given situation. Those two obviously relate to eachother!

--2. I may go into detail about how to play like an arranger - how what you do interacts with the other players (incredibly important in the studio, when you sometimes have to make choices immediately). I also talk about how to develop a guitar-part over the length of a song, etc.

--3. I can talk to some extent about soloing. How does a player think, and how do you try to build a solo, whether it's just 8 bars or extended over many choruses and why.

--4. I tell a few stories from my experiences and a little about my history as a player.

--5. I work with individuals as well as groups and always have suggestions that hopefully make it easier for them to continue a dialogue about what and how they are approaching their music. Remember - we are all learning, hopefully for as long as we can! Some people may be quicker or slower, and someone might have been at it longer, but nobody will ever know it all. To keep an open mind is essential, no matter how experienced or gifted.

I generally don't spend much time on guitar technique, maybe because there are so many players who are much faster than me, and my technique may be a little unorthodox and very personal.
